Chapter 190 Heavenly Demon Puppet
After leaving the Demon Flame Valley, Xiao Ling rushed towards Canaan College without stopping.
Along the way, Xiao Ling's mood was quite complicated, and he was also a little annoyed.
Xiao Ling was a little surprised that the old demon didn't chase him out to attack him. If he fought outside the Demon Flame Valley, without the various restrictions and interferences in the valley, it would definitely be easier for him to deal with the old demon.
Not long after, Xiao Ling returned to Canaan College.
He first found Elder Su Qian and briefly explained his experience of the trip to the Demon Flame Valley.
Afterwards, he hurried into a secret room, intending to start refining a "Heavenly Demon Puppet" for Han Yue.
Xiao Ling walked into the secret room alone. It was quiet and secretive, and was the best place to carry out high-difficulty refining.
He first took out the remains of Dou Zun obtained from the Demon Beast Mountain Range from the storage ring. Although the remains had lost their breath of life, they still emitted powerful energy fluctuations and were the perfect material for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
The former owner of this corpse was a famous Dou Zun. Although after being refined into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, it may not be possible to fully restore its peak strength in life and return to the realm of Dou Zun.
However, even if it is impossible to directly refine it into a Heavenly Demon Puppet, it is not a problem to ensure that it has the strength of a high-level Dou Zong.
In this way, even if Han Yue is not by his side, with the trump card of Heavenly Demon Puppet in his hand, Xiao Ling no longer has to worry about her safety.
Even if Fei Tian, the leader of Fenglei North Pavilion, came, he would only be beaten.
Then, Xiao Ling flipped his palm lightly, and a magic core flashing with electric light appeared in his palm.
This magic core with lightning attribute has blue and white arcs flowing on its surface, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
It came from the treasure house of Canaan College, and was acquired by Xiao Ling through the relationship with Elder Su Qian.
The quality of this seventh-level magic core is top-notch among its peers. It is of higher quality than the two seventh-level magic cores that Xiao Ling had obtained from the Dou Zun ruins before. It is an indispensable core part in the process of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
As for the choice of soul, Xiao Ling had already made a decision. That was the guardian Wu who was living in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Over the years, all the soul bodies that Xiao Ling collected one after another were swallowed and integrated by the Guardian Wu, which made his strength continue to rise. Now he has reached the realm of Seven-Star Dou Zong.
Although Xiao Ling has never had the opportunity to let Guardian Wu demonstrate his strength in battle, the powerful soul of Guardian Wu can come in handy when he is refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
These three materials are undoubtedly the best options Xiao Ling currently has.
He took a deep breath, calmed his inner fluctuations one by one, then slowly sat down and began to adjust his breathing to ensure that his condition was perfect.
After the breathing adjustment, Xiao Ling suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining and full of energy.
The process of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet is extremely difficult. It not only tests the refiner's mental concentration, but also requires precise control of every detail.
Xiao Ling knew this very well, so he focused all his attention and devoted all his energy, determined to make a concerted effort and strive for success in one go.
Xiao Ling clenched his palms tightly, and a sapphire blue flame emerged. He flicked his fingertips, and the flames, like a nimble dancer, lightly wrapped around the body of Dou Zun.
Under the scorching heat, the surface of the corpse quickly turned fiery red, as if it was injected with new vitality.
However, as the flames continued to burn, wisps of faint black gas escaped from the corpse. That was the corpse gas containing the subtle thoughts of the corpse's owner, and it turned into nothingness in the green flames.
If this corpse qi is not expelled, it will hinder the complete fusion of soul and body.
The refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet requires the perfect fusion of the body, magic core, and soul. Therefore, the expulsion of corpse qi is crucial.
Xiao Ling skillfully controlled the temperature of the flame, forcing out the corpse qi without damaging the corpse. This process took him two and a half hours, until the last trace of corpse qi was completely purified.
When the last trace of corpse qi dissipated, Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. He flicked his fingers and two powerful fighting qi shot out, creating fist-sized holes in the chest and forehead of the corpse.
No blood flowed out of the cave because all the blood had been evaporated in the previous tempering. This was a small step in refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet.
At this moment, Dou Zun's body has shrunk, and his skin has become a cold grayish-white color, tightly attached to the dry muscles. His palms have become slender and pointed, like sharp daggers.
Xiao Ling further tempered the corpse according to the records in the scroll. Then, he stretched out his hand and the seventh-level thunder attribute magic core came out and slowly fell into the small hole in the chest of the corpse, embedding perfectly.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ling took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner from the system space.
As soon as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared, it exuded an eerie feeling, causing the temperature of the originally hot secret room to drop sharply.
Xiao Ling's mind moved, and a dark soul body emerged from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, suspended in mid-air, with a dull look in his eyes. It was the Guardian Wu. Although the Ten Thousand Souls Banner had wiped out the Guardian Wu's mind, meeting the requirements for refining the Heavenly Demon Puppet, in order to ensure that the refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet was foolproof, Xiao Ling still used the strange fire to refine the Guardian Wu's soul according to the method recorded on the bamboo slips.
During the entire tempering process, the soul of the Guardian Wu completely obeyed Xiao Ling's command without any reaction, which made Xiao Ling silently praise the effect of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his heart.
After refining the soul of the Iron Guardian, Xiao Ling glanced at the black mist on his palm, and then threw it lightly. The black mist turned into a black dragon and drilled into the hole on the forehead of the corpse like lightning. As the soul was injected, the eyes of the corpse suddenly opened, and there was no light in the dark pupils.
Xiao Ling was not surprised by this. He flicked his ten fingers, and a series of metal objects with strange luster flew out of the ring and floated in front of him. He nodded slightly, and a royal blue flame gushed out like a pillar of fire, and a suction force sucked the metal into it.
Under the high temperature of the strange fire, these metals began to melt, although it would take some time before they were completely melted.
Xiao Lingxin was doing two things at once, tempering the corpse at a constant temperature, and refining the metal at an extremely high temperature. This exquisite control of fire was a piece of cake for him who had practiced the "Dayan Jue".
He knew that this was not a task that could be completed in a short time, so he sat cross-legged on the cushion, closed his eyes, and quietly waited for the perfect moment.
……
In the heart of Canaan College, a lonely cabin is hidden in a lush forest. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the college, it is the perfect place to seek quiet practice.
The little medical fairy sat in the cabin, with the fragrance of herbs floating around her. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, adding a bit of peace to her tranquil temperament.
In this tranquility, her mind was not at peace.
As his cultivation improved, the poisonous energy in his body began to show signs of being difficult to control.
Little Medical Fairy felt that the poisonous gas in her body began to become slightly restless. It seemed to be testing the boundaries of its restraints, but was firmly suppressed by her cultivation.
She sighed softly and said to herself, "Ever since I broke through to the Dou Queen level, the poison in my body seems to be getting more and more difficult to control." Her brows were slightly furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed across her eyes.
In order to prevent the poison in her body from affecting others, Xiao Yixiang chose to leave Xiao Ling's courtyard and come to this quiet cabin to practice alone.
At Canaan College, Xiao Yixian seldom went out for a stroll, in order to prevent the poisonous gas in her body from suddenly getting out of control and leaking out.
For elders with higher cultivation, these poisonous gases may not be enough to cause a serious threat, but if ordinary students in the inner courtyard accidentally come into contact with them, the consequences will definitely be very serious.
After all, the poison gas released by the Evil Poison Body, even if it is not used intentionally to attack, is still incredibly powerful and far beyond what ordinary people can withstand.
She took a deep breath, slowly adjusted her practice rhythm, and tried to bring the restless poisonous energy back under control.
Time passed minute by minute, and Xiao Yixian's efforts were finally rewarded. The poison gradually subsided, and her mood also calmed down.
She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing in her heart that she would need to be more cautious in her future cultivation. Perhaps she needed to find a way to allow this power to coexist harmoniously with herself.
In between training sessions, Xiao Ling's figure could not help but appear in Little Medical Fairy's mind. Thinking of him, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face, which was half covered by a veil.
"Now that Xiao Ling has reached the Dou Zong realm, I can't fall behind." She encouraged herself silently in her heart, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "I must become stronger. Only when I become strong enough can I fight alongside him and no longer be the me who always needs his protection."
……
Five days passed quietly, and the metal was finally refined into a dark golden liquid, releasing a mysterious luster as it flowed.
However, the perfect harmony of body, soul, and magic core has yet to come.
Xiao Ling was not impatient. He knew that impatience would only make the fleeting perfect moment slip away and lead to failure in refining.
Two and a half days later, Xiao Ling suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and he finally captured that perfect moment.
In the secret room, Xiao Ling quickly formed a strange seal, and with a low shout, the corpse trembled, and the soul in the brain was shattered by an invisible force, turning into countless tiny points of light and scattered to every part of the body.
At the same time, the magic core in the chest began to hum, and violent energy surged out and flowed along the meridians.
As the soul and magic core changed, the gray-white color on the surface of the corpse became darker, the size slowly shrank, and a majestic aura emanated from it.
Xiao Ling felt this momentum, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he moved his hand, pouring the dark golden solution onto the corpse.
The high-temperature metal solution came into contact with the corpse, and white mist burst out, but it did not cause any damage. After refining, the puppet's body strength has become extremely strong. Xiao Ling knew that the refining of this Heavenly Demon Puppet was almost complete.
